Has anybody else used this? I found this nifty little needle when I first started cross stitching because I was horrible at threading my needles... I love this! While its not good for everything, like when I am burying the thread Im finishing because the end is slightly fatter than normal needles, it does save me lots of time when I accidentally pull my thread out of my needle, no more licking and trimming the thread over and over....
The brand is just that, Spiral Eye Needles. They were invented by a woman in the US and it is made in the USA as well... There is also a cheap copy of it called the one second needle, of which I read is made in China and of lower quality (no size selection, and sometimes frays/cuts threads). If you search for Spiral Eye needles itll take you right to the site...
That is so interesting! I will have to look for them. I know this is a very old discussion, but I am new and reading everything I can.

Hmmm... I have found a downside to these needles... the threading end feels a little "thicker" than the regular needles, and if you dont pull it all through in one quick motion, it could get stuck in

Think I will have to check them out...worth it for those short threads.

To me, theyre very good for when I worked on Dimensions stuff with their often 4~5 threads, since those are a pain to put in needles. but from now on, 2 threads or less, I stick to regular tapestry needles.
